Who are these aniseed sprinkles for?

Aniseed fans looking for a topping

You want to enjoy sweet aniseed on crispbread, bread or yoghurt during or around your film. You’re not necessarily looking for something to eat straight from a snack bar wrapper.

Solo shoppers who want to avoid leftovers

You’re buying for one and want to decide in advance whether you’ll use a 270 g pack after your film night, too.

Shoppers checking allergens

You need to know what’s in your pack. Jumbo lists wheat starch, while online information about milk varies between retailers.

What should you look for when buying?

First decide whether you want a topping or a ready-to-eat snack. Then consider how much you’ll use and check the pack’s label.

What to consider What to look for Who it matters to
Topping or snack Jumbo describes crushed aniseed sprinkles as a topping. Consider whether you’ll serve them on crispbread, bread or yoghurt. If I want something to eat by hand during the film, I’m not looking for a topping that needs a base first. For around 50% of consumers, being able to snack straight away is the top priority.
Quantity Compare the 270 g pack listed by Jumbo with how often you plan to use the topping. If you’re buying for just one film night, you won’t want to be left with a lot over. Around 30% of consumers put the amount left over first.
Ingredients and allergens Check the ingredients, allergen information and any cross-contamination warning on your pack. If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know exactly what’s in the pack before eating it. For around 20% of consumers, checking allergens is the main concern.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking crushed aniseed sprinkles for a snack bar

    Jumbo describes De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as sugared aniseed for topping foods such as bread, crispbread and yoghurt. That’s different from a bar you can eat straight from the wrapper during a film.

    Choose crushed aniseed sprinkles if you want an aniseed topping; look in a different snack category if you’re after an individual, ready-to-eat portion.

  • Buying a pack for one evening without a plan for the rest

    The pack described by Jumbo contains 270 g. If you only use a small amount, you’ll have some left after your film night.

    Think in advance about what you’ll use the rest on, and follow the storage instructions on the pack.

  • Relying only on online allergen information

    Jumbo lists wheat starch, while another retailer also mentions flavouring containing milk. Online listings can change, too.

    Before eating, check the ingredients, allergen information and any cross-contamination warning on the pack you bought.
